Summary

Listen. Sometimes we like to shake it up. So while we’re finishing up next week’s episode, I decided to open a sound file and spilled only secrets. This was an exercise in just chilling with you, and not editing a thing. Think of it as my exposure therapy + life advice and embarrassing tales from me, your actual biological father from the internet. Is it too long? Too bad! Is it too boring? I don’t know! But in these uncertain times, it’s important to remember that showing up is what matters. I don’t know, probably.

0:00.0	Oh, hey, it's the lady with no intro because this is not a typical episode.
0:06.8	I guess a lady with no intro is an intro.
0:09.3	Listen, listen.
0:11.1	This is all secrets.
0:12.8	These are all new wall-to-wall secrets.
0:15.7	Dad, what are you doing?
0:17.8	Here's what I'm doing.
0:18.6	I'm taking a little breather.
0:20.2	Okay?
0:20.8	I was just in New York for the Webby's.
0:24.0	We won two, everyone.
0:26.1	We won Best People's Voice for Science, and we won Best Science Podcast.
0:30.9	That makes our fourth Webby, and I feel like I should be posting about this online more to brag about it.
0:36.2	But it feels arduous to do that, and I know I should. I don't. I know people have asked like, what's your least favorite thing about the podcast? And it's usually posting about it. But I'll try it. All right. So here's a deal. I've been working on this episode that's coming out next week. It's about wine. It's a two-parter. And I didn't get it done in time,
0:56.4	which is why it's a Wednesday. And this is going up. And I thought, you know what? Let's take a
1:01.3	breather. Let's just chit-chat. I know that the parts of the show that probably are the most
1:06.1	real to me are at the very end. So I thought, I'm going to take the bra off of my heart. And I'm
1:13.4	just going to relax and we're going to do a wild wall-to-wall secrets episode. Thank you, everyone who
1:18.0	supports the show via patreon.com slash ologies. You can join for as little as a dollar a month.
1:25.3	And also we have Smologies. Those are shorter kid-friendly episodes.
1:29.2	They are G-rated. This one will not be Asmologies and it will not be G-rated, probably.
1:34.4	Also, thank you to everyone who leaves reviews for the show. I didn't look one up yet.
